anyone else get weirdly sleepy after leg day

not sore-sleepy the next day. I mean two hours later I could curl up on the gym mat and power down like a laptop. Food helps a bit but not much. Wondering if this is just heavy squats making my whole system log off

Hydration matters more than I thought. Same with not treating coffee as breakfast.

could be under-eating could be lousy sleep, could be just leg day being evil

heavy compounds absolutely flatten me sometimes. Especially if I trained early

If it suddenly got worse or comes with dizziness, probably worth asking a professional, not us goblins.
